The Orleans appearance was a homecoming for Gaynor, who premiered as a Las Vegas headliner in 1961, and continued to perform in showrooms on the Strip for several decades, appearing with such stars as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. “I am over the moon to be coming home to Las Vegas!” said Gaynor.
